Excuse me? But, you are the one that made the above statement.

An Apple Bowl would be a waste of JC's time. They finally have a coach there that sees the big picture. Stop living in the past man.

Now I would agree on JC maybe hosting an Apple Bowl and them playing someone and Paintsville playing someone. Have two games. But, as far as these two playing each other in football....forget it. As far past records go. JC fans have much more to look forward to. Instead of watching their team destroy a small cross town school. Let it go.

Ill let you set on my knee for a while and tell you a bedtime story. I use to go to Paintsville and played for the Tigers in football. When I played we never lost a Apple Bowl game to Johnson Central. I remember all the Paintsville fans and players poking fun of beating Central every Apple Bowl after all their shirts said "Beat Central." Was that the only school Paintsville worried about beating? Where are the shirts now? I never did see a shirt that said Beat Betsy Layne, Beat Jenkins, or Beat Pikeville!

And what makes me sick is how Paintsville fans always thought they were better than everyone else, the things that were said about the teams we played and the other team's facilities. "I hope I never have to step foot in this gym again."

I know how a Paintsville fan base acts and it still goes on to this day. Looking from the other side now I myself am embarrassed the way I acted as a Paintsville player. Good thing I know better now! At least now I can show my kid how to behave toward others without a better than thou attitude.

Since Central started a winning football, basketball, baseball and everything else competitive, including academics, Paintsville tucks their tails between their legs and quits playing. I'm sure if Paintsville had the football coach and players that JC has then Paintsville would still be playing the Apple Bowl. Johnson Central and Paintsville would still be playing the Apple Bowl. The Apple Bowl made a lot of money for both programs and the fans had something to look forward too before Apple Day weekend.

As far as soccer goes, it looks like JC made a clean sweep in the Apple Cup. I'm glad, but soccer is just not my sport. Mountain high school sports are basketball and football wake up man I'm still talking to ya. Remember, Paintsville is in Eastern KY, not west of Lexington where Soccer is the sport.
